Raffi Hovannisian Marches Through Kotayk, Promises Return of Emigrants
Yerevan–Raffi K. Hovannisian took his presidential campaign to the
village of Proshyan in the Aragatsotn region today where he addressed
a large crowd of supporters and paid tribute to the memory of
Commander Karot and all Armenian troops who sacrificed their lives for
their homeland.
Hovannisian then went to Yeghvard and Hrazdan, where his town hall
meeting turned into outdoor rally due to the overflow of supporters.
Describing his plan to create thousands of new well-paying jobs,
Hovannisian highlighted the necessity to restore Hrazdan to its once
powerful industrial potential. `The corrupt condition of the Armenian
state has led to inexcusably high unemployment, which is one of the
main cause of emigration from Armenia,’ Hovannisian said.
In his last meeting of the day in the town of Abovyan, a packed town
hall crowd erupted in applause many times throughout Hovannisian’s
speech and chanted `Hayastan!’ after its conclusion. `Let us all be
masters of our homeland,’ Hovannisian said.
